Chapter 1: Bible Q & A

Today we’ll handle 2 questions:1. What does it mean in Judges 3:24 when it says King Eglon “Surely he covereth his feet” (King James Version)?

This question comes directly from one of our recent Bible readings in the program we introduced in last week’s podcast (CLICK HERE) and is an example of why doing comparison readings in other translations can be very helpful.

2. What are the specific duties of elders in the church?
I’ve selected this question from my files as the news of the past couple of weeks has been dominated by the Catholic Church’s selection of a new pope. The Bible does specifically address matters of church leadership and organization. What we learn there may surprise some.Scriptures referenced:

Acts 11:30; 14:23; 20:17, 28

1 Timothy 3:1

Titus 1:5

1 Peter 5:1-4
